The Golden Trail Series is a series of international trail races.[1]
Overview
The series plays an important part in the racing schedules of many of the world's best trail runners.[2] Notable male competitors include Stian Angermund, Francesco Puppi, Remi Bonnet, and Frédéric Tranchand, with Maude Mathys and Blandine L'Hirondel among the notable women.[3] Salomon supports the Golden Trail Series.
Competitions and athlete interviews are covered on Golden Trail TV and web series include Chasing Dreams[4] which are presented by running journalist David Hellard.[5]
Races
Races are categorised into the Golden Trail World Series (GTWS), started in 2018,[6] and the Golden Trail National Series (GTNS), started in 2019.[7] The former includes several of the world's most competitive trail races.[8]
The Golden Trail Championship (GTC) was created in 2020 to replace the planned World Series which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It took places in the Azores in the form of a four-day stage race.[9] The success of the GTC format meant that it was proposed as a replacement for the series final in alternating years.[10]
